    12 On Generality and Problem Solving: A Case Study Using the DENDRAL Program E. A. Feigenbaum, B. G. Buchanan and J. Lederberg Computer Science Department Stanford University In discussing the capability of a problem-solving system, ne should dis- tinguish between generality and expertness. Generality is being questioned when we ask: how broad a universe of problems is the problem solver prepared to work on? Expertness is being questioned when we ask: how good are the answers and were they arrived at with reasonable cost? Generality has great utility in some ways, but is not often associated with superior performance. The experts usually are specialists. In analytical chemistry, there is a domain of inductive inference problems involving the determination of molecular structure by analysis of certain physical spectra of the molecule. We have written a problem-solving program (Heuristic Dendral) that is prepared to attempt to solve any problem in this very large domain. By now, it has solved hundreds ofstructure-determina- tion problems in many different chemical families. For some families of molecules, it is an expert, even when compared with the best human perfor- mance. For the other families, i.e., most of chemistry, it performs as a novice, or worse. This paper will use the design of Heuristic Dendral and its performance on many different problems it has solved as raw material for a discussion of the following topics: 1. the design for generality; 2. the performance problems attendant upon too much generality; 3. the coupling of expertise to the general problem-solving processes; 4. the symbiotic relationship between generality and expertness, and the implications of this symbiosis for the study and design of problem-solving systems.

Instead of observing a constant decay rate determined by the collective coupling strength to the driving field, we show that the enhanced emission of the single stored photon into the forward direction of the coupled optical mode depends on the dynamics of the superatom before the decay. We find that the observed decay rates are reproduced by an expanded model of the superatom which includes coherent coupling between the collective bright state and subradiant states.

China § AnHui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic and Magnetism Functional Materials, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Anqing Normal University, Anqing 246011, PR China ABSTRACT: Metal clusters with specific number of valence electrons are described as superatoms. Super valence bond (SVB) model points out that superatoms could form the superatomic molecules through SVBs by sharing nucleus and electrons. The existence of superatom−superatom bonding was verified by the shape of their orbitals in former studies. In this paper, another important evidencebond energy is studied as the criterion for the SVBs using the density functional theory method. In order to get the reliable values of bond energies, the series of Zn−Cu and Mg−Li superatomic molecules composed of two tetrahedral superatoms which do not share their nucleus are designed. Considering the number of the valence electrons in one tetrahedral superatomic unit, − − − (Zn4)2/(Mg4)2, (Zn3Cu)2/(Mg3Li)2, (Zn2Cu2)2/(Mg2Li2)2, and (ZnCu3)2/(MgLi3)2 clusters are 8e 8e, 7e 7e, 6e 6e, and 5e−5e binary superatomic molecules with super nonbond, single bond, double bond, and triple bond, respectively, which are verified by chemical bonding analysis depending on the SVB model.

Sci.,2016,7,3067 Zhixun Luo,‡*ab Arthur C. Reber,‡c Meiye Jia,a William H. Blades,c Shiv N. Khanna*c and A. W. Castleman, Jr.*b Quantum confinement in small metal clusters leads to a bunching of states into electronic shells reminiscent of shells in atoms, enabling the classification of clusters as superatoms. The addition of ligands tunes the valence electron count of metal clusters and appears to serve as protecting groups preventing the etching of the metallic cores. Through a joint experimental and theoretical study of the reactivity of methanol with aluminum clusters ligated with iodine, we find that ligands enhance the stability of some clusters, however in some cases the electronegative ligand may perturb the charge density of the metallic core generating active sites that can lead to the etching of the cluster.

D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 2 MODULE 1: METAL CARBONYLS LECTURE #1 1. INTRODUCTION: Justus von Liebig attempted initial experiments on reaction of carbon monoxide with metals in 1834. However, it was demonstrated later that the compound he claimed to be potassium carbonyl was not a metal carbonyl at all. After the synthesis of [PtCl2(CO)2] and [PtCl2(CO)]2 reported by Schutzenberger (1868) followed by [Ni(CO)4] reported by Mond et al (1890), Hieber prepared numerous compounds containing metal and carbon monoxide. Compounds having at least one bond between carbon and metal are known as organometallic compounds. Metal carbonyls are the transition metal complexes of carbon monoxide containing metal-carbon bond. Lone pair of electrons are available on both carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon monoxide ligand. However, as the carbon atoms donate electrons to the metal, these complexes are named as carbonyls. A variety of such complexes such as mono nuclear, poly nuclear, homoleptic and mixed ligand are known. These compounds are widely studied due to industrial importance, catalytic properties and structural interest. V. D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 3 Carbon monoxide is one of the most important π- acceptor ligand. Because of its π- acidity, carbon monoxide can stabilize zero formal oxidation state of metals in carbonyl complexes. 2.

Combining the new trend of materials and device manufacture at the atomic level, we analyzed the opportunities for the development based on the use of superatomic clusters as units of functional materials, and presented a foresight of this new branch of science with relevant studies on superatoms. In 2016, a whole new organization for advanced science and technology was created in China [1], and even it is called China’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Despite the appropriateness of this metaphor, the reference to DARPA Atoms to Product (A2P) Program reminds us a promising trend towards the atomic-level manufacture of functional materials and devices. This ensures functional units on the atomic level to play an important role. Superatomic clusters, whose properties can be controlled at the atomic level, obviously fit into this new trend and represent an opportunity for integrating different scientific disciplines.
